The Perfect Place

In your 20s one of the major things that you do is live in an apartment. The first one is usually the one where you liked it when you saw it, or someone picks it out for you and says "This is the best place ever and you absolutely need to live here". Then you live there about 6 months and go wait a minute I am not loving this place as much as I saw it that first day. So here I am about to make a great step in my life and pick out a place that I love all around. There are of course good and bad things but I am sure that the good absolutely out weighs the bad. I wanted to share with you a sneak peak into my next apartment. I will be officially out of the new place in 2 months. I know it is a long way but I am stoked. At the end I will give you a little insight as why I wanted to move and later on I will do a comparison of the two place.




This place was perfect for me. It was nice and clean, lots of room for rocky to run, pet stations, and trails. These are pictures from their website and I know what you are thinking but these pictures are exactly like what i saw so don't be fulled.

This is the nice office, the only thing different were the cars parked out front.

This is the club house. It is free during the day if you wanted to have a get together or BBQ and at night you can rent it. I might do that for my birthday.

In the club house there is a pool table that is free.

A gym and also a Pilate's (or however you spell it) and yoga instructor. They just put in plat screens and after 10 you need a key to get in. They are also installing camera's in the next month, which makes me feel very safe.

This is like the study area. wi fi with printer and computer stuff. It would be a nice place to come and do some studying.

This is the pool. There are actually two pools.

This is my floor plan. Last year when I was searching I had looked at this apartment before and I fell in love with it then and when I walked in I was still in love. I remembered it immediately.

This place has so much storage. It has a coat closet when you walk in, a storage until outside and also a linen closet.


This is the living room. It was really funny when I saw this picture because the furniture was exactly the same. The woman said instead of the place to put the TV there will be a fire place.

This is the balcony

The kitchen.

The bathroom with the garden tub.

That is about it. So here are the negatives and positives

Positive:

Alarm system in each until

pool

2 pet stations for Rocky

trails and bikes to rent

fireplace

central heating and air conditioning

dishwasher

washer/dryer

more storage space

Rent is a few dollars below what I am paying now.

Closer to walmart and cheaper grocery stores

carpet!!!!

balcony

Negatives:

Quite a drive for work and school

Won't be able to go home at lunch

Electric stove instead of gas

live on the 3rd floor (won't really be nice when I have the case of water bottles to bring up)

The other thing that made me think I was doing the right thing is that last night my neighbor had his car broken into and I know it can happen anywhere but I feel like living where I live there is more of a chance that that will happen again. So if you want a visual tour click the link below.
